NOTE: At the end of each C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm C/GC/G FF chord progression, there
is a small but important extra note. While fingering the FF chord
(1 3 3 2 1 1), quickly hammer on and then pull off the sus note
(1 3 3 3 1 1). Do this twice each time. Listen to the record to
get a better idea of what I mean.
(from Bookends, 1967)
